Happy Thanksgiving

Today we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, and boy is it cold. Last night the lows were in the low 40's. Lisa checked the weather in NH and felt much better when she saw the highs were in the low 40's with a low expected of 19 deg. During the day it is in the low 70's, but on the water, it can be chilly. We should be here for about five days completing some last minute tasks prior to crossing over to the Bahamas. Once completed and we get some light winds, we will move to our jump off spot just above Key Largo. We will sit in Key Largo and wait for a good weather window. For those who do not know what we mean by waiting for a weather window, let me explain, for the rest of you�. skip over. Since we will be crossing the Gulf Stream that runs south to north, we need the winds out of the south also for the smoothest ride. If the winds were out of the north, they would oppose the Gulf Stream and create some very large waves.
Yesterday, we were in West Palm where we met up with Uncle Joe. He picked us up and we went back to his house for the day. The kids enjoyed his heated pool and were able to run free on the golf course.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!
